Let's say you have a bunch of deb files. And in the same directory you have a text file named file_list where each line is a download link for all of those deb files. We can get the names of all of deb files using glob pattern (*deb) and using for loop we use sed to remove matched line in-place of the file_list:
for i in *deb;
do
sed -i "/"$i"/d" file_list
done
Just to be safe, copy the file_list first before you run the command.
